How to Add Power Steering to an Electric Hummer - (I know you're curious)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2021
- Its time to install Power Steering on the Hummer! HUGE Thanks to www.oshcut.com/ for helping me get my parts so fast. Power steering is important in any vehicle, but especially heavy duty vehicles. The heavier the truck the more assistance it needs for steering. We had power steering working on our Electric Hummer conversion previously, but it was loud. This new electric power steering motor will be MUCH quieter and MUCH more energy efficient. Our Hummer's name is 'Whisper' and now it will be quiet enough to live up to that name.

Not that you have mastered power steering, it's time to master power naps. They will certainly come in handy over the next few months/years.
Now that you **
its all hell have
Indeed!
Hijacking your comment to say:
Um Zack, I hope you see this. That electric assist motor is not waterproof. It's not even water resistant. Those are designed to be beneath the steering wheel inside the cab. The first time it rains, you drive through a puddle, or even try to ford through some moderately deep water, that electric assist motor is toast.
@@actschp1 its also a fixed gear type not planetary gear type so if that motor locks up no steering at all.
It's very good to see Agent 47 doing regular life stuff
🤣
Regular life stuff? Converting a normal car into electric?? I always do that first thing in the morning
@@berkem. lol🤣
He's buliding this for a silent attack
Not so regular though..
Cleaner, quieter, and more efficient. I love it!
Efficient at polluting with Cobalt mining, and other heavy metals that pollute like no other. Polluting with Diesel used to mine the cobalt (For the batteries). Pollution from the electricity to power it, Where over 60% of it is coming from fossil fuels including coal. Pollution from crude oil needed for tires, gear oil, coolants. Hardly cleaner. It's just as polluting, it just takes a different form and has a much longer tailpipe.

I'm a little sad that we might not see updates for awhile, but I'm happy and excited for your baby.
Good luck to you and your wife 👍
I think you are describing how we’re all feeling right now
This post just got me so excited
How he managed to hide it all the way to the end of the pregnancy I'll never know 😂
Wait why are the videos going to be on hold?
@@MockedClown because of his new baby
Congrats on Jerryrig Jr.! Enjoy your time away with the family.
Thanks! Love your channel.
Ah
Indded. Much congrats!
@@JerryRigEverything iPhone 13 Pro teardown please? and many congrats :)
@@umairkhan1024 chill buddy
We know the phone will scratch at a level 6 with deeper groves at a level 7 already, its not going anywhere
I am checking almost everyday on the next episode on this one. Kinda excited on what's next. And a big CONGRATULATIONS to you and to your wife on your junior.
Those bent aluminium tabs look a little underspecified for the torque of the steering assist motor. After many cycles you could get fatigue cracking. Probably best to strengthen that up 👍 Great series just an observation
Not under spec'd for the motor, but for sudden 800lb kicks during rock climbing after vibrating it on the highway for a couple years...
Agreed yup, definitely a weak point.
Agree it definitely needs bracing.
I was thinking the same thing, it should have been made in the thickness of the motor plates. and with more solid cuts. instead of all the fancy stuff :)
@@ch4.hayabusa I don't think forces from the wheels put stress on the motor brackets. They'll go right through to the steering wheel as feedback. The power (and thus torque on the bracket) is uni-directional from steering wheel to wheels only i think.
Take a shot whenever Zack says "I'll fix the wires later"
I'd probably be dead until then from alcohol poisoning.
already drunk 😂
I don't have good enough medical insurance for that.

Jerry: it's completely silent.
Tires: **SCREAMS IN PAIN**
He was talking about the pump lol
Cool project, but I must warn you from personal experience of a major design fail: the input shaft of the steering gearbox was not designed for that much torque and will snap. After driving my old chevy 4x4 around for a week with inoperative power-steering (same gearbox), just muscling it at the steering wheel, that input shaft snapped right off. It is designed for power-assist downstream in the gearbox. And when it fails, you are suddenly going nowhere, probably at low-speed but maybe after hitting a pothole on the highway and causing a major accident.
Also, I agree with several others who've commented that the cool laser-cut bracket will also eventually fail from repetitive-stress at the bend. Aluminum is the wrong material for that bracket, and it should also have triangulating tabs welded behind the angled mounting surface.
how big is your truck size ? as i have the same consideration on my 60's charger but rack&pion mod with sticky dot wide tires at about 12"in and my 1980's K1500 steering system? and with the charger i am considering use the chevy dump truck c60 or dues and half twining the steering box's as 90* bevel box's for full lank T-bar's aka to hold up the back side of the car instead of the leaf-springs
I was wondering this exact thing. Thanks for pointing it out. Do you know if he modified the box since then?
So the power steering assist should be installed closer to the gearbox?
The steering assist mounting bracket was flexing a fair amount when you turned the wheel repeatedly back and forth. You can fix and add more rigidity by adding a matching size, or larger, mounting bracket on the driver side of the firewall. Great project that has been very impressive to watch unfold.
"Ignore the wiring, I will fix that later" is the equivalent of "scratches at a level 6 with deeper groves at a level 7" for this series.
Hahahaha THIS! 🤣
i personally thought it would be the "and were going to it with lasers"
@@johnfran3218 shoo
Did the folks at Rivian make sure you didn't snag any parts to complete your Humvee build?
Lmao
Nope, you would trust Zack wether you wanted to or not.
LOL
They might call him up soon to ask for their powersterring back
This is going to be one of those comments with over 1k likes
Just binge watched this build. Great job on everything. I'm excited to see the completion.
I would also recommend as other have stated to remake the mounting plate from steel. Can be 304 SS like your other pieces, make the bends of that form as big as can fit the space, add wings that can be welded to the larger flat, could even then passivate the whole piece for extra corrosion resistance. The wall its mounted to may need more strength as well. Hope all goes well with baby!
Congratulations on junior zack..no tests on him plz 🙏
🤣
Junior you mean ?
“Hmm... Scratches at a level 6 deeper grooves at a level 7.”
This guys are made of very elastic materials so JRE junior has seccesfully passed the bend test
Burn test? JRE: "JRE Junior lasted ... seconds under the heat of my lighter"
"Ignore the wiring, I'll fix that later" should be the catch phrase for this channel at this point.
Or "this video is not sponsored by oshcut"
@@mariostavreski4065 😂😂😂😂💀
LOL "Ignore the wiring, I'll fix that later" the motto of every car mod guy ever.
The current one is “scratches at a level six with deeper grooves at a level 7”
I have a suspicion that the video where he cleans up the wiring is going to be about three days long.
Congrats on the bub! I really enjoyed this series, it started just as my city went into a severe lockdown over delta strain. We've been banned from leaving home, seeing friends or family, going to a bar, restaurant, cinema etc or going anywhere more than 5km from home for over 14 weeks now and this series has really kept me going. Thanks so much for the content honestly its really made a huge difference.
As much as I am happy for your new addition. I have been anxiously.awaiting each of these videos as this has been my favorite project you've under taken. I will be on pins and needles waiting for new videos. But take your time and enjoy the new little one! Much love Zach, and we'll see you around!
Car is DIY, Kids are DIY. Great job. Haha. You’ll be a fantastic father. Maybe one day we can tour around a little together. Have fun and enjoy the baby. It’s like a cute toy that constantly gets great updates.
God bless you and your family. Best wishes from Germany!
Just don't forget to tell him the wifi password, otherwise he won't be able to download OTA updates and you will have to make a teardown to install them manually😂 Good luck!
True! His intro does say life is DIY 😂
Every humvee video
Zach: "Ignore the wiring i'll fix that later"
can’t wait for the final video of him driving it with “ignore the wiring i’ll fix that later”
@@lyeuhm I’m sure he’ll drive it without the loom wrapped - it’s the sensible order to do things
If youve ever done any restomods you know that the wiring is the last thing to cleanup or youre just redoing a lot of work along the way for no reason.
As a developer, I can relate.
We should expect a video just for the wiring
Can't wait to see this project finished. Very exciting! Very cool!
What a surprise! Congratulations!!!
I love this series. Something to look up to the whole week. You'll be a terrific dad
I also
What about weekends?
Me tooooo
Me too
Me to
When Zack finally cleans up the wiring, there should be compilation of all the times he said "ignore the wiring, we'll fix that later" lol
That’s awesome news! Congratulations to the both of you!! Top notch problem solving on the EHV steering and mount too👍👍
Dude I just started watching your Hummer vids, amazing work! Can't wait for the next video!
17:20 - You might already have plans to do this, but I would definitely significantly reinforce that mounting bracket as it flexes a worrying amount. Overtime the aluminum might work-harden and crack from all the flexing.
As I see its not screwd in yet, thats why its flexing
Same design, but in steel with welded in gussets on the folded part.
I agree, as a safety critical component this should be redesigned
Yep, even if it will be bolted all the way - I will rattle away whole metal section, because it’s not thick enough
Aluminum in that way certainly wasn't a very good ideia. Aluminum will not warn you when it is about to rip that bent party, it will stress fail... Just snap!
Probably it would happen when slow or even stopped, since it work harder in this situations, but don't bet! At least add some gussets around there. ASAP!
" Ignore the wiring, I'll fix that later" 😂😂😂😂 every episode man
Love it ✊🏾✊🏾
Because he knows there are gonna be those viewers who are gonna complain. lol
@@davidsilvera7436 nope, he does the rough work and then finishes with the wiring when everything is installed
@@carholic-sz3qv soooo what did I say was wrong? There will be users who will complain about the untidy wiring so he puts that disclaimer in that he will fix it up later, in every episode.
It´s such a fantastic project. I watched the whole playlist now:) This way of creating the videos is aweseome.
Using no music is great and sometime oddly hypnotising, just hearing the sound of your work.
Just awesome!
Greetings from Germany and have a great time with your family:)
Congratulations on your family's new addition! I've really been enjoying the Humvee build. I share the vids with my son, who likes to work on vehicles.
Marvel's "What if" and your "electric humvee build" is what I'm always excited through the week.
so am I
I watched only ep 7 and 8 of 'What if?'
Njnm
Nice, same here. Also see superfastmatts 50s jaguar converted to a rwd model 3 drive unit with the full model 3 pack right underneath.
And salvage to savages dual tesla ldu, with full irs swapped custom metal wide body 80s chevy c10 sema build.
Same 😂😂
"Jointy bit" that's my new word to describe all things jointed.
I hope the delivery goes/went well and the whole family is healthy!.
Congrats on Junior JRE :)
Congratulations on "Cambry's project"! Jerry Jr. has some wickedly creative parents! can't wait for the rest of this series, best of luck!
Jerry: you can turn the steering wheel with one finger. “Looks easy”
Also Jerry: Pulled an entire engine by himself
HAHAHA
watching your content adds a new kind of entertainment. it makes you interested and excited to watch more. your always so calm when you run into problems and your easily understood. i hope you and your family have the best of futures and I hope life treats you well.
Congrats on expanding your family Zack!
You and Cambry seem like such wonderful people. You Deserve all the best!
when the vehicle vibrates, there will be a relative movement between the frame and cab. Reciprocate strain combined with assisted torque, pretty sure the aluminum mounting plate will fail pretty quick, be sure to add several stiffening ribs on the mounting plate and check periodically.
I don't think that an electric motor vibrates as strong as a combustion engine, considering how blissfully silent it was. But it doesn't hurt to be extra cautious also.
@@kluangh1tam i think op was referring to the vibration when the truck is on the road hitting bumps and stuff. + some off-road activities maybe?
@@kluangh1tam The Road interaction makes the vehicle vibrates and those very subtle vibrations are the main cause of fatigue in human and vehicle parts as well
Yeah, that plate is going to strand him with no steering on a trail someplace.
Yea that plate seemed a bit shabby.. he would need to redesign it moving forward.. could try adding some rubber bushings in the design.. I really don't know how but the small bracket holding the motor could be suspended on the 2 bushings perhaps..
Wow what a wholesome ending to that episode!!! Looking forward to both projects successfully completed!!
looked at her, but most of all 😏🙄😶😑😐🤨🤔
will do her good.😰😬🤯😩😨😧😦
was nothing that she woul
Just had one of my own! Congrats to the both of you! Thanks for putting up some great quality content that I thoroughly enjoy. Can't wait to see that behemoth hit the streets!
Congrats to your newest addition to your family! I hope its a crazy smooth transition and can't wait to see how the Humvee looks when yall return 😄
Zack’s new catch phrase, “Ignore that wiring…… I’m going to fix that later.” Lmao!
and "for that, we will use lasers"
I appreciate all the Harbor Freight tools. This is proof that you don't need fancy, expensive gear to do good work.
Harbor freight is great if you need a tool for one thing
Jerry I like that you are putting your focus on family. Best of luck to all. Can't wait to see Jerry Jr. behind the wheel of that hummer. 😃
"in a few weeks JerryRig junior will be joining the family"
That made me smile :)
Have a great family time Zach, will surely miss you and pray for everyone’s health :)
Hey, Jerry I dont want you to stop making videos due to sudden death so:
Depending on the forces of the steering the aluminium plate will eventually fatigue and break. I would suggest using a thick steel plate and welding on the neccecary angle changer thingy. Because the bending zone is under alot of stress. I really like this series and cant wait for the next video. :)
yep, that was an incredibly bad idea.. you can see the whole thing flexing at 17:22.
Yeah, agreed. Seems like the steering would still work manually if that bracket sheared off though
Yup, firewall is quite not happy too... Is this electric power steering tolerate off-road usage ? When you hit something with those huge tires it multiplies forces and send back massive loads in the steering.
So agree I was just going through the comments hopping someone has mentioned it
Ita such a bad idea.
The plate its self should be ok its the 3 bolt part thats been folded to hold the pump 2 small section off already bent alloy definitely not good.
Totality agree
Happy to hear that news! congrats to both of you! Waiting to see jerryrig Jr. in this channel.
As always thank you for the content Zack and ofc congratulations on the newest addition to your family. I wish you, the wife and Jr great health and long life!
Imagine if few years from now, Zack Jr. takes out this Humvee on a ride and says, “Ok guys, this is my old man’s electric humvee. Let’s see how durable it is” :-)
Oh yey!
I love how Jerry always tells us to "ignore the wiring" .
Dudes name isn't Jerry

Congratulations @Jerry. Wish you all the best. May your baby be blessed.
This is a great solution. Can't wait to see more progress when you have time!
I love the fact that Jerry always assures that he will fix the wires in every video and every time those wires are exposed on the camera, loving this series 👌
Along with some of Destin's (Smarter Every Day) this is probably the best series I've ever seen on RUclips. Absolutely great
Congratulations on the baby!!!! It’s the best thing in life. God bless your family
Congrats! So happy for you and your family.
warm wishes for Jerry Rig Jr, also I have been watching this series proactively, you're the OG. Yours Sincerely, Mech Engineer from India.
17:20 That's a lot of stress on a single piece of metal, make sure to reinforce that assembly. It looks okay-ish for now. I know other bolts are not in place as of now but you can see the whole metal plate bending. Overtime this assembly might get weak and bad things happen
Yeah was thinking same thing, not sure aluminium is the best material for this part
@@BenMillen he could fix that by adding sidewalls...
@@g60force yeah was thinking the same though still feel like aluminium would be more likely to stress fracture over time, I could be wrong, just feel like a heavy duty vehicle should have heavy duty parts where it counts
I'm agree with you
I was thinking the same thing. If it fails he will only lose power steering for a 1/4 turn of the wheel and have a motor thumping around down there
Loved the update on getting caught up to real time. And even better that you're taking time to welcome your child. Good luck, God bless and we'll see you on the other side.
Congrats guys . Take what time you need for family 👌
The coolest thing you’ve ever built will be coming shortly. Enjoy those moments man, they are amazing!
7:23 A tip for the next time you are going to cut a hole that big or when you want to cut the hole maybe just a little bit larger then it already is. Use a piece of wood and cut your hole through it first. Mount the piece of wood in place and use it as a guide to cut your hole. Much easier and stabilizes your cut so it does not jump all over the place. Had to do this with my dead bolt opening that needed to be cut like 1/2 larger to support my smart lock.
and here I was messing with a dremel for 20 minutes trying to install a keypad deadbolt because of the same issue lol great advice.
Subscribed not because of the hummer or phones or other projects, but because of who you are as a sincere fella & the expansion of your family where many of us are working on that during our 30s. Well done Mr Zach! & many congrats! 🙌💪🙏
Congrats... Take the time you need, we'll happily wait...Enjoy your time with the baby...All the best!!!
Hope Jr come safe also his/her mother stay healthy after Jr come.. and Papa Jerry congratulations 🙏🏻
I sincerely got teared up when you said "Jerryrig junior". Congratulations and good luck!
Congratulations on JerryRig Jr!!!! Can't wait to see how Whisper turns out!
Hey man take all the time you need, can't wait to see Jerry Rig Jr. Congratulations!
Congrats on both projects!!! May they both be quiet and run well.
Congrats on both "projects"!!!! Take as long as you need with the family! We'll be here waiting :)
This has to be one of the best playlists on RUclips!
Congrats on the baby, good luck you two!
The ultimate DIY guy as a father… “I’ll come by later, I’m just building some lightbulbs for the kids”.
I don't know why but after a certain period of time you just grow some kind of emotional attachment with the video creator.

Congrats Jerry!!! Take care and be happy with Jerry Jr. Can’t wait to see the humvee on road!! 🤗🤗
17:20: that plate probably needs more bolts as the wobbliness looks bad in my opinion.
Yep, too wobbly
